Rihanna kicks against anti-abortion law by Alabama governor and senators

Rihanna has slammed the governor and senators in Alabama for signing an anti-abortion bill into law which has been termed the most controversial.

The bill was passed 25-6 on Tuesday night and signed by Governor Kay Ivey says regarding abortion that the only exception is “to avoid a serious health risk to the unborn child’s mother,” and if the “unborn child has a lethal anomaly.”

Democrat’s also tried to ensure the inclusion of rape and incest victims as an exception, but their attempt was rejected.

Reacting to the news, Rihanna slammed the whole process on social media:

“take a look. these are the idiots making decisions for WOMEN in America.
Governor Kay Ivey…SHAME ON YOU!!!!”, Rihanna wrote.

Governor Kay Ivey broke the news on social media:

“Today, I signed into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, a bill that was approved by overwhelming majorities in both chambers of the Legislature. To the bill’s many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God.
To all Alabamians, I assure you that we will continue to follow the rule of law.
In all meaningful respects, this bill closely resembles an abortion ban that has been a part of Alabama law for well over 100 years. As today’s bill itself recognizes, that longstanding abortion law has been rendered “unenforceable as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade.”
No matter one’s personal view on abortion, we can all recognize that, at least for the short term, this bill may similarly be unenforceable. As citizens of this great country, we must always respect the authority of the U.S. Supreme Court even when we disagree with their decisions. Many Americans, myself included, disagreed when Roe v. Wade was handed down in 1973. The sponsors of this bill believe that it is time, once again, for the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit this important matter, and they believe this act may bring about the best opportunity for this to occur.
I want to commend the bill sponsors, Rep. Terri Collins and Sen. Clyde Chambliss, for their strong leadership on this important issue.
For the remainder of this session, I now urge all members of the Alabama Legislature to continue seeking the best ways possible to foster a better Alabama in all regards, from education to public safety. We must give every person the best chance for a quality life and a promising future.”
